M：Oh， I’m sorry， doctor.I didn’t hear the bell， or I would have left earlier. 【分析】　此对话关注的重点是visiting hours， wife， doctor， bell等词。 2.笔记：对于信息量较大的听力材料，单靠心记显然是行不通的，而要用笔头的方式把它记录下来，即笔记。主要解决第二节的语篇对话或独白。笔记一般采用选择性记录。即对于长句可只记录几个单词，甚至几个单词的首字母；对于时间、数量只用阿拉伯数字记录即可。 3.速记方法： （1）用标志性的字母代替较长的单词 这种方法适合记比较长的单词、常见的单词及专有名词（人名、地名、国家名、组织机构名称等），如：UN 代表 the United Nations；GB 代表 Great Britain；M 代表 mountain；tele 代表telephone等。 （2）用核心成分代替句子 即用句中的核心成分代替整个句子，省去其他起语法功能的连词、冠词、介词等虚词；用阿拉伯数字代替它们的英语表达法。如：In Britain anyone who is physically and mentally fit and over the age of seventeen can apply for a driving license.可以速记为：Br.any physi ment fit age 17 app driv lice.，这些核心成分就为整理答案的内容提供了充分的依据。 （3）用符号表示信息 如用“←”“↑”“→”“↓”等符号表示不同的方向，用“＜”表示 less than，用“＝”表示 be equal to，用“＞”表示 more than，用“（ ）”表示 include。这样既可以节省时间又可以利用图形符号的直观性恢复省略掉的信息。 【典例】　W：Did you know James went out of business？ M：Really？ When was that？ W：Last month. M：That’s too bad！ He had owned that business for 15 years.What happened？ W：I don’t know.But life must be pretty tough for his family now.His sons are still so young.One is 13 and the other is 10. M：Well， maybe things are not as bad as they seem to be. W：I hope so. 【分析】　此对话关注的重点是out of bus （代表out of business）， la mon （代表last month），15 y （代表15 years）， tough， young， bad等词。 核心词汇集释 1.contented adj.满意的；满足的 教材原句　Ms Yi had a contented life until a terrible event occurred which changed her life. 易女士一直过着心满意足的生活，直到一件可怕的事改变了这一切。 【用法】 content n.　 内容；目录；容量；满足 adj.　　满足的；满意的 vt.　　使满足 content oneself with ...　　 满足于……，对……感到满意 be content to do sth　　 乐意做某事 be content with ...　　 对……感到满意 【佳句】　She was gazing at her baby with a soft， contented smile on her face.　（神情描写） 她正注视着她的孩子，脸上带着温柔又满足的笑容。 【练透】　单句语法填空 ①The Greens are living a 　contented　 （content） life in the countryside now. 【写美】　一句多译 ②那些满足于现状的人在生活中一定不会有大的作为。 →Those who 　are content with　 their present situations will surely make no difference in life.（content adj.） →Those who 　content themselves with　 their present situations will surely make no difference in life.（content v.） 2.occur vi.发生；出现 【用法】 sth occurs to sb　 　　某人突然想起某事 It occurs to sb to do sth　　某人突然想起做某事 It occurs/occurred to sb that ...　　某人突然想到（起）…… 【佳句】　（2023·1月浙江卷）Memories with the hummingbird occurred to me when I walked to the blackberry-lined path.　（动作、心理描写） 当我走到长满黑莓的小路上时，我想起了与蜂鸟的往事。 【联想】　表示“某人突然想起某事”的句式还有：sth hit（s）/strike（s） sb， sb hit（s）/strike（s） on sth， sth come（s） to sb， sth come（s） into one’s mind等。 【练透】　单句语法填空 ①With an idea 　occurring　 （occur） to me， I stepped to my brother and asked him to open his coat. ②He handed in a report explaining how the idea occurred 　to　 him. 【写美】　一句多译 ③我突然想到可以通过把头塞进南瓜赢得第一名。 →　It suddenly occurred to me that I could win　 the first place by forcing my head inside the pumpkin. →　It suddenly occurred to me to win　 the first place by forcing my head inside the pumpkin. 3.survival n.继续生存，幸存 教材原句　Now the trees have a survival rate of 85％.现在这些树的存活率达到了85％。 【用法】 （1）survive vt.　　　　　幸存；生还；幸免于；比……活得长 vi.　　幸存；活下来 survive sth　　在……之后仍然幸存 survive sb （by ...）　　比某人活得长（……） survive on　　靠……存活下来 （2）survivor n.　　幸存者 【佳句】　The natural environment should be protected because of the important role it plays in human survival and development.　（演讲稿） 自然环境应该被保护，因为它在人类生存和发展方面起着重要作用。 【练透】　单句语法填空 ①It is said that she survived her husband 　by　 more than 20 years. ②The government immediately sent help to the 　survivors　 （survive） of the earthquake. ③The movie is about 　survival　 （survive） and the choices we all make when one wants to survive， good or bad. 【写美】　完成句子 ④The man 　survived his wife by　 five years， during which he lived in a small house. 这个男人比他的妻子多活了五年，这期间他住在一所小房子里。 4.determination n.决心；毅力 教材原句　She has made a huge difference with her determination to make her son’s dreams a reality. 她决心让儿子的梦想成为现实， 这让她的生活发生了巨大的变化。 【用法】 （1）with determination　　　　　 坚决地；果断地 （2）determine vt. 确定，决定；使下定决心 determine on　　确定；决心 （3）determined adj.　　　　　　有决心的 be determined to do sth　　决心做某事 【佳句】　（2023·新课标Ⅰ卷）Leaving his office that day， I felt a sense of purpose and determination.

Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 　　（2025·杭州期末）When most kids go to the beach， they’re too focused on making sandcastles and splashing around to notice litter， but several years ago， for 7-year-old Cash Daniels， noticing a plastic straw sparked a lifelong passion for saving the planet. 　　Cash， who is now known as the “conservation kid”， has always loved nature. He grew up fishing along the Chattanooga River， after all！ But once he learned that 80 percent of all trash from land and rivers ends up in the ocean， he couldn’t sit back. 　　He started with cleanups along the river， something that quickly went from a family affair to a community effort with volunteers and neighbors. In 2019， Cash， together with a Canadian conservationist， Ella Galaski-Rossen， started a nonprofit called the Cleanup Kids. Despite living in different counties， they managed to create educational videos on their YouTube channel. “We hope to be a really big nonprofit that eliminates plastic in the US and Canada，” Cash said. “We want to inform kids and adults in the landlocked states on how their actions are connected to the water and the ocean，” Cash said. 　　Cash was selected as one of America’s top 10 youth volunteers of 2021 by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. He also earned the title of National Honoree， where he received a $5，000 grant to go to a nonprofit of his choice， and he became the first person to win the Youth Conservationist Award two years in a row from the Tennessee Wildlife Federation. 　　“I want to travel the world， teach others， and help them feel connected to the ocean. Because if you are connected to the ocean — if you love it and what lives in it — you’ll want to protect it，” he said. “This is my fun， and it becomes more fun with every new discovery.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Cash Daniels从小热爱自然，发起环保行动的故事。 1.Which can replace the underlined words “sit back” in paragraph 2？（　　） A.Give up.

But unlike the zoo’s other residents， they were made entirely out of plastic trash collected from the ocean. These giant sculptures， along with 14 others， were part of a traveling exhibition called “Washed Ashore： Art to Save the Sea”. 　　The Washed Ashore project， led by artist Angela Haseltine Pozzi， was aimed at making people know how seriously the oceans had been polluted. According to the National Zoo， more than 315 billion pounds of plastics litter the world’s oceans today. Most of these plastics are garbage from towns and cities， as well as trash that people leave on beaches. Rainwater， winds， and high tides bring the trash into the ocean or into rivers that lead to the ocean. Once they are under the waves， the plastics begin to break up into smaller and smaller pieces. 　　Thousands of marine animals — including whales， sea turtles， and fish — die each year from eating or getting tangled （缠结的） in plastic bags and other items. Plastic pieces can also injure coral and kill seagrass. Each year， millions of pounds of plastics end up in the ocean. A recent study by the World Economic Forum and Ellen MacArthur Foundation finds that if that continues， by 2050 the total weight of plastics in the ocean will have been more than the combined weight of all the fish in the ocean. 　　The artworks on display included a 20-foot-long coral reef， a 12-foot-long shark， and a 16-foot-long parrotfish. Each one was made of hundreds of pieces of trash like water bottles and sunglasses. “These sculptures are a powerful reminder of our personal role and global responsibility for preserving biodiversity on land and in the sea，”said Dennis Kelly， a director of the National Zoo. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了华盛顿特区史密森国家动物园的塑料雕塑展览，旨在提高人们对于塑料造成海洋污染的意识。 5.What’s special about the turtle and the seal displayed at the zoo？（　　） A.They have been put on the endangered list. B.They’re native residents of the deep sea. C.They can help deal with the plastics in the ocean. D.They’re artworks made of the plastics from the ocean. 解析：D　细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，动物园里展出的海龟和海豹的特殊之处在于它们是由海洋中的塑料制成的艺术品。 6.What was the purpose of the Washed Ashore project？（　　） A.To show the beauty of ocean creatures. B.To raise awareness about the ocean pollution. C.To attract visitors to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. D.To appeal to volunteers to help clean the trash in the ocean. 解析：B　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，Washed Ashore项目是为了提高人们对海洋污染的认识。 7.What can we infer about the plastics in the ocean from paragraphs 2 and 3？（　　） A.They will threaten marine life more seriously in the near future. B.They are mainly from undersea adventures. C.They do little harm to coral and seagrass. D.They are impossible to clear away. 解析：A　推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句及第三段可推知，在不久的将来，海洋塑料将更严重地威胁海洋生物。 8.What did Dennis Kelly want to convey through the words in the last paragraph？（　　） A.Each individual should take action to protect the environment. B.People’s efforts to protect biodiversity have paid off. C.Sculptures of marine animals are popular in the world. D.People’s awareness of recycling waste is increasing. 解析：A　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可推知，Dennis Kelly想要表明每个人都应该采取行动来保护环境。 C 　　（2025·陕西渭南期中）A bicycle may be seen by most people as just another vehicle， but for many Londoners， cycling is a way of life. According to a UK government survey in 2017， about 570，000 bike journeys were made every day in London. In fact， almost half of the vehicles that pass over London Bridge each day are bikes. 　　London introduced a public bike-sharing system. “There can be no doubt that our trusty bicycles have changed the way people get around our great city，” Johnson told The Guardian. 　　In London， bikes are used for more than just taking short trips to and from the subway. No matter where you want to go in the city， riding a bike is usually the quickest and easiest choice. 　　And it’s not just shared bikes that the government is encouraging people to ride. In many companies across the UK， the UK government’s Cycle to Work program allows workers to buy a brand new bike without having to pay any tax. This means that it’s common to see many people cycling to and from work， and some companies even provide showers and lockers in the workplaces for their workers. More importantly， a cycle-friendly boss may let you off for being late if you ride a bike to work. 　　Not only is it great for the environment and our body， but cycling is also good for the mind. According to National Geographic Magazine， “Bike riding can improve people’s happiness.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。对许多伦敦人来说，骑自行车是一种生活方式。政府和公司给骑自行车的人提供了多方面的支持。 9.How does the author show the popularity of cycling in London？（　　） A.By using numbers. B.By giving examples. C.By making comparisons. D.By using famous sayings. 解析：A　细节理解题。根据第一段第二句可知，作者用数字来说明在伦敦骑自行车很流行。 10.What’s Johnson’s attitude towards the bike-sharing system in London？（　　） A.Disappointed.　 B.Worried. C.Supportive.　 D.Doubtful. 解析：C　推理判断题。根据第二段第二句可推知，Johnson对伦敦的自行车共享系统持支持态度。 11.What can workers get from the Cycle to Work program？（　　） A.Tax-free bikes. B.Shorter working hours. C.Free bike-sharing services. D.Showers and lockers in workplaces. 解析：A　细节理解题。根据第四段第二句可知，在这个政府计划中，工作者从政府获得的好处是购买免税自行车。 12.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage？（　　） A.Cycling， a Healthy Way of Iife B.London’s Public Bike-sharing System C.How Cycling has Become Popular in London D.Why Londoners are Encouraged to Ride Bikes 解析：C　标题归纳题。第一段说明在伦敦骑自行车是多么的流行；第二、第三段说明其流行的原因；接下来的段落说明了政府和公司的支持进一步使骑自行车流行起来。因此，文章讲述的是骑自行车在伦敦流行的原因，C项为本文最佳标题。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 　　（2025·武汉二中检测）As the world struggles to deal with the climate crisis， some companies are working to remove polluting carbon dioxide （CO2） from the air. 13.（　　）， but two US companies have recently made important progress. 　　Scientists say large amounts of CO2 must be removed from the atmosphere and stored. 14.（　　）. But there’s so much CO2 in the atmosphere that just planting trees and protecting forests won’t solve the problem. In addition， when plants and trees die， the carbon they’ve stored gets released again. 　　That means humans need to come up with ways of removing carbon from the air and storing it. This is called Direct Air Capture （DAC）. The science of removing carbon from the air is challenging， and it’s still pretty new. Most DAC processes require a large amount of energy， 15.（　　）. 　　A company called Heirloom has just opened the first DAC plant in the United States. The company heats up the limestone （石灰岩） to separate out the CO2， which is then locked away in concrete （混凝土）. The process is extremely expensive. 16.（　　）. That’s a tiny amount compared to how much carbon needs to be removed from the atmosphere， but the company says it hopes to remove a billion tons per year by 2035. 　　17.（　　）. Some people worry that it will take too long for DAC technology to become powerful enough to make a difference. Others worry that focusing on removing carbon could take attention away from more important climate actions， like switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy. But experts say the decision isn’t to do one or the other. The world needs to end fossil fuel use and pull carbon out of the air. A.It’s a huge and challenging goal B.Plants and trees can do this naturally C.Everyone is not excited about carbon removal D.The new plant can remove 1，000 tons of CO2 year E.Graphyte is another US company working on DAC F.and CO2 is just a small part of the gasses that make up air G.so one puzzle for these companies is how to remove carbon without creating more pollution 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。随着全球努力应对气候危机，一些公司正在开发技术以从空气中去除污染性的二氧化碳。 13.A　上文提到全球正努力解决气候危机，需要从空气中去除污染性的二氧化碳，这是一个巨大的挑战。A项中的It指上文的remove polluting carbon dioxide （CO2） from the air。 14.B　下文提到仅靠种植树木和保护森林无法完全解决二氧化碳的问题，尤其由But可推知，空处应提到树木可以吸收二氧化碳。 15.G　空处位于段末，应承接上文。上文提到直接空气捕获技术需要大量能源，与G项构成因果关系。 16.D　下文提到虽然目前去除的碳量很小，但公司有远大的目标。D项说明虽然现在能力有限，但未来有更大的目标。 17.C　下文提到人们对这种技术的不同担忧。C项指出不是所有人都对此技术持积极态度。 17 / 17 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
